Cheers Tom, same to you and all your mahogany friends Re-reading my original topic, it makes no sense, so I will ask it a little more englishly, who's is the burst in the card (presumably yours)? Details??

That's my 59 refin, that started life as a black Standard.
I had it bursted, because that flame was too nice to hide with black.
I'll probably do a thread on it one of these days [maybe next week's Burst Pic of the Week].

Oh Tom you just gotta. Tell us all the story, she's a real beauty!!

A black Standard huh..................one of our pre-eminent NZ musicians has got one, maybe I should suggest to him a change, what do you think?
You've done it. Looks like faded tobacco burst?

Hang on, a black 59? Wouldn't that be very rare or maybe unique?

I wouldn't strip an original finish.
It was poorly refinned natural when I got it.
I will do it up better, for next week.
That is a cherry sunburst that is as deep red as they were when they left the factory. In retrospect, I wish I had lightened it up a little, as some of the flame is hidden [if you can believe that!].

Gives her a sort of mysterious look huh. Yep maybe a bit around the edges. Certainly a very definite red as you say.

Let's see.....black to natural knock off 50% so that's about $50k......natural to a poorly done cherry sunburst, deduct another 50% to $25K......missing covers....down to $20K.....Take it or leave it!

Issues or no issues, refin or not that is a great looking guitar!

...natural to a poorly done cherry sunburst, ...

I thought the cherry sunburst was perfectly done.
It sure wasn't poorly done. :wink2
